Update News: Victory Cards<\/strong><\/p>\n

This update introduces Victory Cards to the Dino D-Day world. \u00a0Don’t\u00a0let the word “card” fool you, this is something completely different\u00a0than Steam Trading Cards (more about those in a minute). \u00a0Dino D-Day\u00a0Victory Cards are a collectible in-game item that tells the story of\u00a0the alternate universe WW2 and the men, women, and dinosaurs who waged\u00a0it. \u00a0The concept is rooted in real publications during WW2, as well as\u00a0the cards that were included in cigarette and gum packages. \u00a0Each series of cards fits into a booklet for an individual character. Starting things off in this update, we’ve given you a booklet about Trigger, the allied protoceratops; and a booklet for Kurt Streicher, the Axis captain who is just as talented with a paintbrush as he is with an MP40.<\/p>\n

So what is the difference between Steam Trading Cards and Badges and\u00a0Dino D-Day Victory Cards? \u00a0The big difference is that Victory Cards\u00a0stay in Dino D-Day for now. \u00a0We originally created this addition to\u00a0the game before Steam cards were on the radar. \u00a0We delayed our release\u00a0of our cards so that players would not be confused. \u00a0Steam cards show\u00a0how awesome you are, Victory Cards just want to tell you a story.\u00a0Collect them all, and you have the complete story on that Dino D-Day\u00a0character.<\/p>\n

We would love to hear your feedback on Victory Cards as we evaluate\u00a0them for future use.<\/p>\n

Dino D-Day Development News<\/strong><\/p>\n

Continuing to support Dino D-Day is still a high priority for us, but we also want to share some information about what else is happening with 800 North.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dino D-Day 2<\/em>
\nWe’ve learned a lot since the early days of the Dino D-Day mod, and we’ve been hard at work putting those lessons to work in a new and improved version of the game. \u00a0We’ve mentioned the project before, but have been somewhat vague about our timeline for release **cough cough** Valve time **cough cough**. \u00a0We still want to avoid setting a release date because we really want this game to be the best it can be before we let it loose into the wild. \u00a0That said, we are making good progress on the game. \u00a0We have new character models, new animations, entirely new methods of creating immersive environments, and we are having a lot of fun as we polish and playtest. \u00a0We’re looking forward to sharing it with you very vaguely soonish at a time that is yet to be determined. \u00a0And that is a completely accurate estimate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dino D-Day: The Animated Series<\/em>
\nWe are continuing to develop the world of the game into an animated series. \u00a0It is a tale of heroism, epic struggle, global forces clashing…and dinosaurs. \u00a0Our production partner, Icehouse, a brand of Brown Bag Films, are great to work with, and bring a lot of creative vision to the team. \u00a0There are treatments and scripts being written, concept art being drawn, and new ideas of how dinosaurs could like, totally wreck Europe.<\/p>\n

So this is how we spend our days, and have been for a while now; steadfastly hammering at our digital anvils, forging the instruments of simulated warfare with dinosaurs. \u00a0Thanks for your interest in the game, and we are looking forward to invading both your television screens and monitors with new Dino D-Day content soon. \u00a0Unless you watch shows on your monitor. \u00a0Or game on your TV. \u00a0Then just the one screen. \u00a0But we’ll be invading. \u00a0Soonish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
